posting rules

[Guest guest]

We have many members and receive many messages for posting to the group.

Examine before posting to the group whether the message is a to the group

or is a personal message to one member. Do not send a message to 4000

members

when it is meant for one person. If the information is relative to the

group also,

then post to the group.

 

1) Not all messages get published to the group.

Posting to group is not a right of membership. Reading the messages

is the right of membership. Messages that get published are due to

the value of their content. If you want to be published to group,

then write something worth posting. Or copy and paste articles etc.

that explain what the point is to your trying to share.

 

2)We are here to learn to be our own healthcare practioner/advocate.

It is accepted that we help each other with information.

Do not try to become someone elses " doctor " . Sharing information is

different

than diagnosing, prescribing, and telling someone else what they

should do.

If you cannot disintguish between those two things please do not post.

 

3) Trim your reposts. When quoting a previous message, ONLY quote the

message,

or part of the message that you are directly responding to.

DO NOT QUOTE A WHOLE STRING OF MESSAGES. ALWAYS DELETE THE FOOTER

(any advertising, links, etc. found on the end of each message) as

otherwise

these footers repeat themselves on subsequent posts!

 

4) Off-topic posts should be the exception on this Forum.

Also, do not use abusive, rude or defamatory language in your posts, as

such posts can lead to you being banned from the Group. Remember that

your opinions are just that, " your opinions " , so tread carefully.

 

 

5) Attachments are NOT permitted on this list and are deleted

automatically. This is to protect the members from viruses being

distributed via

this mailing list. If you need to share a File with the group, you can

use the Files department to upload pictures, diagrams etc.

 

6) Advertising is NOT allowed on this list. A small signature is

permitted at the bottom of your posts, if the information that your

are sharing is worth posting. The less value of the information, the

less signature permitted.

 

I thank you all for reading and following these simple rules that I

hope will enable us all to get more out of this group. If you have any

queries or suggestions to make about these rules, please email me

directly.
